Title: Case Study Competition


1
Case Study Competition
  • Ben Stenson, Dannie Moore, Kevin Vicker, Sara
    Schaller
  • Eastern Illinois University

2
Founded
  • Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris
    Hughes founded Facebook while attending Harvard.
    The website was successful within the Harvard
    community and quickly spread to other Ivy League
    institutions. Zuckerberg and Moskovitz left
    college to manage Facebook as a full time job. As
    of November 2004, Facebook has reached over one
    million users.

3
Why was Facebook founded?
  • Social networking service for high school,
    college, and university communities, primarily in
    English-speaking countries
  • To create personal profiles, typically containing
    photos and lists of interests, exchange private
    or public messages, and join groups of friends.

4
Who is eligible to be on Facebook?
  • You must be thirteen years of age or older to
    register as a member of Facebook or use the Web
    site. If you are under the age of 13, you are not
    allowed to register and become a member of
    Facebook or access Facebook content, features and
    services on the Web Site. Membership in the
    Service is void where prohibited. By using the
    Web site, you represent and warrant that you
    agree to and to abide by all of the terms and
    conditions of this Agreement.
  • To become a college member of Facebook you must
    have a .edu college/university email address.
    Most colleges issue these to students.

5
What can you do in Facebook?
  • Users can then search for other users and request
    an acknowledgment that they are "friends." By
    clicking on profile entries, such as favorite
    music, current residence or high school, a user
    can browse through relevant listings, or may
    choose to use the site's search feature.
  • The profiles of users from each institution
    included in the network are stored on a unique
    sub domain, which limits profile viewing.
  • A user may only view the profiles of users at his
    or her institution, although mutual friends from
    different schools may access each other's
    profiles.
  • Facebook also allows users to send private
    messages and pokes to other users. The "poke"
    feature simply sends the text, "You have been
    poked," and provides an option to poke back.
  • A new feature allows users to browse through
    their friends through a map that represents the
    users friends current locations or hometowns.

Advantages to Facebook
  • Maintain contact with friends
  • Develop a network with individuals in your
    classes
  • Reunite with old classmates from high school
  • Meet people with similar interests at your
    university
  • Law enforcement tool for information on
    underage parties and other criminal activities
    (Associated Press, 2006)
  • Student groups and organizations can network

7
Problems with Facebook
  • Sharing inappropriate pictures which may ruin
    reputation for future jobs and personal
    relationships.
  • Access to information such as phone number,
    address, and class schedule, etc may lead to
    stalking, sexual harassment and abuse (Bugeja,
    2006)
  • Student Affairs professionals such as career
    counselors and academic advisors must deal with
    parents and employers who view students behavior
    on Facebook (Bugeja, 2006)
  • Authorities such as police and college
    administrators use Facebook to find illegal
    behavior
  • Tasteless information and pictures are posted for
    others to see

8
Facebook Today
  • 2005 Facebook expanded to 835 colleges throughout
    the country extending its reach to community
    colleges and educational institutions in other
    countries. You can now find Facebook at all
    colleges in the nation reaching over 2,200
    institutions.

9
Facebook Safety Tips
  • Set the "friend" option so that only people you
    have confirmed as friends can view your profile.
  • Do not include an address, room number or phone
    number on your profiles. Announcing a party on
    Facebook is analogous to distributing fliers
    about a keg party at the Student Union.
  • Make sure that no wall messages include personal
    information.
  • If you post your class schedule or vacation plans
    you are letting people know when you arent going
    to be home and where to find you.
  • Know that any photographs you post wont
    necessarily be used the way you intended to be.
    They will be used however those who view it see
    fit.
  • Use Password-protection whenever possible.

10
The Survey
  • We wanted to ask the students what they thought
    about Facebook, since they are the individuals
    Facebook was created for.
  • Eighteen randomly selected students (8 female and
    10 male) responded to these questions

11
The questions
  • Why do you use Facebook?
  • What are the benefits of Facebook?
  • Do you have any personal or safety concerns
    regarding Facebook?
  • What kind of information (be specific) do you
    have posted on Facebook?
  • Have you ever had a negative experience from
    Facebook?

12
The Results
  • In regards to why students use Facebook, students
    stated that they wanted to stay in touch with
    friends, get to know other people at the
    university, to check and see what other students
    are doing, and the newest feature of finding
    friends from high school.
  • When discussing the benefits of Facebook,
    students commented on the ability to talk to
    friends they havent talk to in a long time, get
    to know people by reading their profile, see who
    people are friends with, leave messages for
    others in case you cant reach them by phone,
    look at what other people have wrote on the
    wall

13
Results Continued
  • In regards to personal or safety concerns on
    Facebook, the students suggested the following
  • using the safety/privacy features
  • not putting up personal information such as phone
    number and room number
  • people you dont want to have your information
    can easily access it
  • one talked specifically about a TV new piece she
    saw regarding Facebook and pedophilias using it

14
Results continued
  • When asked about personal information, all the
    students we survey had pictures as well as
    building information, several had phone numbers
    or email addresses, others also described
    interests and hobbies.
  • Out of the 18 students we question, none reported
    a negative experiences. Several commented on
    pictures being added when they didnt know about
    them or friends talking about them through
    Facebook.

Limitations to Survey
